Spicy Roasted Cauliflower, Kale and Carrot Salad

This healthy meal comes loaded with a powerhouse of superfoods, including crunchy kale, anti-inflammatory cauliflower, carrot ribbons, and pumpkin seeds. This way you get vitamin C, fiber, healthy fat and more nutritious benefits in one bite!

If you want to soften the kale, you can mix it with the dressing. Just place the kale in a separate bowl, pour half of the dressing on top, massage the dressing into the kale with your hands, and let it all sit for 30 minutes. To save time, let the flavors mingle while the cauliflower is roasting. The kale soaks up the spiciness from the dressing and softens the veggie if you like less of a crunch.

From there, simply layer the rest of the salad ingredients once the cauliflower is ready and drizzle with more dressing. The red pepper and Dijon mustard give the whole dish a bit of creamy heat, while the lemon juice adds a lovely tartness. A perfect midday meal to re-energize with!
